DOE Advanced Manufacturing Office to award $8.5M to 7 small business R&D projects

Green Car Congress

will develop low-cost, energy-efficient nanoporous ceramic membrane modules for separating pure oxygen from air. Luna Innovations will develop a large-scale, multi-input and output separation and extraction process to convert unused salt byproducts, wastes, and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into usable chemical feedstocks for the U.S.

DOE to award $33M to advance hydrogen and fuel cell R&D and the H2@Scale vision

Green Car Congress

M2FCT includes Los Alamos and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories as co-leads, and focuses on fuel cell durability, performance, and cost to better position fuel cell trucks as a viable option in the long-haul trucking market. FOA topics include R&D in: Fuel cells for heavy-duty trucks in coordination with the M2FCT consortium.

DOE to Award Up to $27M in Phase III Small Business Awards; Algae Processing, Fuel Cells, Improved Materials for Motors, Synthetic Fuels Among Areas of Interest

Green Car Congress

Specifically, low cost and energy-efficient processes are sought that can be demonstrated and validated under field conditions to meet needs of the nascent algal biomass industry. Algae cultures tend to be relatively dilute, and the energy requirement to remove water from the cultures can be a significant portion of the energy balance.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. Furthermore, even the older version PHEV can recharge at a slow rate using local solar, wind, water-derived or other net zero CO 2 fuel. The impetus for this change came from a study by the US Idaho National Lab [ 2 ]. For an extended discussion see Appendix C).
